EXODUS 35:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the Lord’s offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments.”
And everyone who was willing and whose heart moved them came and brought an offering to the Lord for the work on the tent of meeting, for all its service, and for the sacred garments. The response to Moses' appeal: willing hearts moved by the Spirit — everyone who was willing and whose heart moved them. The double description captures both human and divine dimensions: the willingness is the human decision; the moving is the divine prompting. 2 Corinthians 9:7 says God loves a cheerful giver — the willing, moved givers of Exodus 35:21 are the ancestors of the cheerful givers of the new covenant. The tabernacle is funded by divine enabling and human willing together.
